Genesis 45:7 Context
5Now therefore bee not grieued, nor angry with your selues, that yee sold me hither: for God did send me before you, to preserue life. 6For these two yeeres hath the famine bene in the land: and yet there are fiue yeeres, in the which there shall neither be earing nor haruest. 7And God sent me before you, to preserue you a posteritie in the earth, and to saue your liues by a great deliuerance. 8So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 9Haste you, and goe vp to my father, and say vnto him, Thus saith thy sonne Ioseph; God hath made me lord of all Egypt; come downe vnto me, tary not.
